Let's Go Fly A Kite

Boo has been begging (BEGGING!) to go fly a kite. They did a kite unit at preschool, I think that's what set her off. So, being the good parents that we are, we went to Target last week to buy a kite. We found a set of two, cheap plastic kites and were good to go.

I dropped Boo and J off at the park and went home to get a stroller and camera.

I rolled into the park and Boo came running to me in hysterics...

"I DON'T LIKE FLYING KITES SO MUCH. IT'S NOT SO FUN TO ME. I WANT TO GO HOME."

The kite wasn't even in the air. It was very windy, so we think the rattling plastic set her off. Who knows. Being the good parents that we are, we forced her to stay while WE flew the kite. She cried and cried, and finally settled down, only to fall apart again when we offered to let her hold it.

Kitty was happy to crawl around on her blanket and methodically remove her socks.But once we got home, Boo was ready to pretend to fly the kites.And by Sunday she was ready to fly the kites for real. Except that it was raining buckets.

So Monday we tried again. Success!

She held onto it herself the entire time and loved it.Now we go every evening.
